Hello,

I am running the amd64 port of etch. I want to install openoffice.org
from debian repository. But when I run aptitude, I get several unmet
dependencies with the following packages

libstlport4.6c2
libservlet2.3-java
libxt-java
libmdbtools
libportaudio0

which inhibit the installation. Apparently, these packages exits in the
database, but there is not any avalilable version for them... Below is
the outpout of aptitude. Any help will be very appreciated! Thank you.

Try to uninstall all the broken packages by typing something like
'aptitude remove --purge <package>'.

Then try again 'aptitude install openoffice'.

Maybe this will help.

Cheers

Thank you very much for the advice. However, I am still having the same
problem: 'aptitude remove --purge <package>' does not fix the problem.
The problem with the unmet dependencies

libstlport4.6c2
libservlet2.3-java
libxt-java
libmdbtools
libportaudio0

continues.

Regards,

Marcelo

Maybe there are some mirrors missing in your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
And read also http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/.

Please check the output of:

apt-cache policy libstlport4.6c2

aptitude install -sD libstlport4.6c2

These two commands should tell you if apt can find any version of
libstlport4.6c2 at all (it should list version 4.6.2-3) and, if any
version is known, why it cannot be installed.

Florian, thank you very much for the help. The output of these two
commands are:

marcelo@nostromo2:~$ apt-cache policy libstlport4.6c2
libstlport4.6c2:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: (none)
Version table:
4.6.2-3 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

marcelo@nostromo2:~$ aptitude install -sD libstlport4.6c2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading extended state information
Initializing package states... Done
Reading task descriptions... Done
Building tag database... Done
No candidate version found for libstlport4.6c2
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Would download/install/remove packages.

It seems that apt can't find any candidate to install?

Which mirror are you using? This package is in stable/main, so you
should see it unless there is something wrong with the mirror or your
/etc/sources.list.

That should work; this mirror has the .deb file right here:
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/poo....2-3_amd64.deb

What happens if you run "aptitude update"? Are there any error messages?
